What does the term 'Euclidean Geometry' mean?

The greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria developed the first systematic study of geometry. Starting with a few basic definitions and simple concepts that were accepted as self evident, he proceeded to logically prove the many theorems that make up the field of Geometry. The term Euclidean Geometry is used to refer to both this comprehensive system of theorems and to the rigorous logical method that Euclid used. The Geometry course described here is Euclidean in both senses of the term, and also includes some introductory Analytic Geometry.  more
